itDisease has always been part of the human experience, from huge pandemics to illnesses increasingly associated with unhealthy lifestyles and the world's ageing population. Medical technology has improved so dramatically that the rates of some illnesses are declining fast, while tests, vaccines and cutting edge surgery are making others much more survivable. But healthcare is not equal around the world and the Covid-19 pandemic highlighted just how vulnerable the world can be to a brand new disease. How can we make the world more healthy?How can we build a better, fairer, more equal, cleaner world? This series seeks to answer this by exploring some of the greatest challenges facing our planet today - from disease to conflict, and from the energy crisis to the plight of refugees. It explains what is already being done to meet and tackle these challenges, and explores what more could and should be done, both individually and collectively, to ensure a better future for our planet, its people and its wildlife.Taking a positive, but realistic perspective, this series aims to empower young readers by helping them understand these complex and troubling issues, calm their anxieties, and promote empathy and understanding for the many millions of people suffering from for example, poverty or inequality.Perfect for readers aged 9 and upTitles in the series:Climate ChangeDiseaseInequalityMigrationPoverty & Food InsecurityWar & ConflictPregnancy and Postpartum Considerations for the Veterinary Team
Par Emily Singler. 2024
Precautions often apply to pregnancy in any workplace, but being a vet in practice presents additional specific risks. There are…
concerns and uncertainty about potential hazards, from radiation and inhalant anesthesia exposure, to zoonoses, and the additional mental stress in a profession that already carries high suicide risk. This book reviews considerations for professionals in clinical veterinary medicine (large and small animal) while pregnant and after giving birth. Veterinarian and veterinary writer, consultant, and mentor Dr Emily Singler speaks directly to veterinary team members (veterinarians, technicians, CSRs, assistants, students) who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. She delivers scientific information on the specific risks to the mother and baby that may be encountered during pregnancy while working in veterinary medicine, with some of her own and others’ experiences to add perspective and humor. The book also covers topics related to mental health challenges, announcing a pregnancy and planning for parental leave, navigating the fourth trimester, and returning to work. We hope that having read this book, veterinary professionals – whether pregnant or working with pregnant colleagues – will feel better supported and empowered to make informed decisions.A Manual of Basic Microsurgical Techniques

Par Dr José Abellán. 2023
Un enfoque integrativo de la salud, con el corazón en el centro, para prevenir las enfermedades y mejorar nuestra calidad…
de vida. El principal motivo por el que enfermamos en la actualidad es que nuestro estilo de vida contradice lo que el cuerpo y el corazón esperan de nosotros: pasamos largas horas sentados, comemos alimentos procesados, sufrimos estrés, ansiedad, insomnio..., vivimos desconectados de nuestra naturaleza y de nuestro entorno. Esta es la raíz de muchas enfermedades, en especial las cardiovasculares, que, según la OMS, están detrás de una de cada tres muertes en el mundo y representan la mayor amenaza para nuestra salud. Y los números no paran de empeorar. En este libro, el cardiólogo José Abellán explica de manera clara y directa la importancia de cuidar la salud de nuestro corazón para evitar enfermedades y tener una vida sana, larga y activa. Con un enfoque centrado en la prevención y la incorporación de hábitos saludables, el autor profundiza en los cuatro pilares de la salud cardiovascular: * No comas, aliméntate* Muévete* Sincronízate con los ritmos del planeta y descansa* Conecta con los demás y con la naturaleza Con Lo que tu corazón espera de ti entenderás, por fin, qué necesita tu cuerpo para estar sano y aprenderás a adecuar tu estilo de vida para gozar de una salud óptima.Toma el control de la situación. Si aprendes a prevenir, no tendrán que curarte. Los expertos opinan:«José ha escrito un libro maravilloso. Lo que tu corazón espera de ti encierra mucho: por qué se produce la enfermedad y, a partir de ahí, cómo debemos alimentarnos, cómo debemos entrenar, cómo debemos sincronizarnos con el planeta y cómo debemos cuidarnos a nosotros y cuidar a los demás. Sácale jugo, aprende y disfrútalo». JORDI CRUZ, chef seis estrellas Michelin «El doctor Abellán defiende la alimentación y su poder antiinflamatorio como base para la prevención de enfermedades; en su libro desmiente de forma sencilla los principales mitos de la alimentación y su efecto en la salud cardiovascular».BLANCA GARCÍA-OREA, nutricionista, autora de Dime qué comes y te diré qué bacterias tienes «El doctor Abellán consigue transmitir los fundamentos que explican por qué el ejercicio físico y la alimentación son vitales para la salud de tu corazón. Además, explica otros factores relevantes en la salud cardiovascular, como, por ejemplo, la conexión social o el estrés. Un libro asequible y claro para mejorar tu salud plena».ISMAEL GALANCHO, nutricionista, autor de Quema tu dieta«En este libro, el doctor Abellán transmite, con un lenguaje muy sencillo y directo, lo importante que es para el corazón sincronizar tus relojes internos con los ciclos del planeta. Con su lectura aprenderás que la salud se trabaja y se gana día a día, y entenderás por qué descansar adecuadamente es uno de los pilares de una vida sana».JUAN ANTONIO MADRID, investigador experto en cronobiología, autor de Cronobiología. Una guía para descubrir tu reloj biológico «En esta época de confrontación, el doctor Abellán muestra de manera muy clara la importancia de cuidarnos, mimar nuestras relaciones con los demás y huir del estrés crónico para gozar de buena salud. Lo que tu corazón espera de ti es, en cierto modo, una delicada manera de tomar consciencia».Coronel PEDRO BAÑOS, especialista en geoestrategia y defensa, autor de Así se domina el mundoContesting Earth's Future: Radical Ecology and Postmodernity
Par Michael E. Zimmerman. 2023
Radical ecology typically brings to mind media images of ecological activists standing before loggers' saws, staging anti-nuclear marches, and confronting…
polluters on the high seas. Yet for more than twenty years, the activities of organizations such as the Greens and Earth First! have been influenced by a diverse, less-publicized group of radical ecological philosophers. It is their work—the philosophical underpinnings of the radical ecological movement—that is the subject of Contesting Earth's Future.The book offers a much-needed, balanced appraisal of radical ecology's principles, goals, and limitations. Michael Zimmerman critically examines the movement's three major branches—deep ecology, social ecology, and ecofeminism. He also situates radical ecology within the complex cultural and political terrain of the late twentieth century, showing its relation to Martin Heidegger's anti-technological thought, 1960s counterculturalism, and contemporary theories of poststructuralism and postmodernity.An early and influential ecological thinker, Zimmerman is uniquely qualified to provide a broad overview of radical environmentalism and delineate its various schools of thought. He clearly describes their defining arguments and internecine disputes, among them the charge that deep ecology is an anti-modern, proto-fascist ideology. Reflecting both the movement's promise and its dangers, this book is essential reading for all those concerned with the worldwide ecological crisis.Dead Pool: Lake Powell, Global Warming, and the Future of Water in the West
Par James Lawrence Powell. 2023
Where will the water come from to sustain the great desert cities of Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Phoenix? In…
a provocative exploration of the past, present, and future of water in the West, James Lawrence Powell begins at Lake Powell, the vast reservoir that has become an emblem of this story. At present, Lake Powell is less than half full. Bathtub rings ten stories tall encircle its blue water; boat ramps and marinas lie stranded and useless. To refill it would require surplus water—but there is no surplus: burgeoning populations and thirsty crops consume every drop of the Colorado River. Add to this picture the looming effects of global warming and drought, and the scenario becomes bleaker still. Dead Pool, featuring rarely seen historical photographs, explains why America built the dam that made Lake Powell and others like it and then allowed its citizens to become dependent on their benefits, which were always temporary. Writing for a wide audience, Powell shows us exactly why an urgent threat during the first half of the twenty-first century will come not from the rising of the seas but from the falling of the reservoirs.Medicine in Rural China: A Personal Account

Par Burney J. Le Boeuf, Richard M. Laws. 2023
The largest of all seals, elephant seals rank among the most impressive of marine mammals. They are renowned for their…
spectacular recovery from near-extinction at the end of the nineteenth century when seal hunters nearly eliminated the entire northern species. No other vertebrate has come so close to extinction and made such a complete recovery. The physiological extremes that elephant seals can tolerate are also remarkable: females fast for a month while lactating, and the largest breeding males fast for over one hundred days during the breeding seasons, at which times both sexes lose forty percent of their body weight. Elephant seals dive constantly during their long foraging migrations, spending more time under water than most whales and diving deeper and longer than any other marine mammal. This first book-length discussion of elephant seals brings together worldwide expertise from scientists who describe and debate recent research, including the history and status of various populations, their life-history tactics, and other findings obtained with the help of modern microcomputer diving instruments attached to free-ranging seals. Essential for all marine mammalogists for its information and its methodological innovations, Elephant Seals will also illuminate current debates about species extinctions and possible means of preventing them.

as the intertidal zone, the area between the land and the sea is defined by the extremes of the tides. Sam Hinton provides an introduction to this fascinating zone and its contiguous waters and to some of the many creatures who make the southern California seacoast their home. This highly readable book has been for many years the handiest resource available for anyone wanting to explore that region's delights and mysteries. The book is filled with interesting anecdotes and drawings and has a thorough discussion of the natural forces¯the tides, winds, storms, currents, surf, and ocean chemistry¯that affect near-shore animals. Also included is a section relating the ocean forces to the intertidal habitat, along with a map of southern California locations where one might observe the organisms described in the book.Prescribed Burning in California Wildlands Vegetation Management

Par Clifford Geertz. 2023
Agricultural Involution: The Processes of Ecological Change in Indonesia is one of the most famous of the early works of…
Clifford Geertz. It principal thesis is that many centuries of intensifying wet-rice cultivation in Indonesia had produced greater social complexity without significant technological or political change, a process Geertz terms "involution".Written for a US-funded project on the local developments and following the modernization theory of Walt Whitman Rostow, Geertz examines in this book the agricultural system in Indonesia and its two dominant forms of agriculture, swidden and sawah. In addition to researching its agricultural systems, the book turns to an examination of their historical development. Of particular note is Geertz's discussion of what he famously describes as the process of "agricultural involution" in Java, where both the external economic demands of the Dutch rulers and the internal pressures due to population growth led to intensification rather than change.
